Highly Fermentable Fiber Alters Fecal Microbiota and Mitigates Swine Dysentery Induced by Brachyspira hyodysenteriae [PDF]
Animals, 2021 Brachyspira hyodysenteriae is an etiological agent of swine dysentery (SD). Diet fermentability plays a role in development of SD, but the mechanism(s) of action are largely unknown. Thus, this study aimed to determine whether replacing lowly fermentable

Severity of Brachyspira hyodysenteriae colitis correlates to the changes observed in the microbiota composition and its associated functionality in the large intestine [PDF]
Animal MicrobiomeBackground The gut microbiota is essential for maintaining nutritional, physiological and immunological processes, but colonic infections such as swine dysentery, caused by Brachyspira hyodysenteriae (B. hyo) disrupt this homeostasis.
